Hey Skxye,


After changing your Apple ID, you are no longer seeing passwords in Settings > Passwords. Did you update the old Apple ID email address or created a new one?


Passwords can be stored in iCloud Keychain which is associated with your Apple ID: Set up iCloud Keychain Do you recall having iCloud Keychain enabled with the old Apple ID?


If it was enabled with the old Apple ID, make sure iCloud Keychain is enabled by going to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain.
